1. Why doesn’t the school cancel Cinco de Mayo observations? It’s no Mexican holiday, it’s a date of a quite minor military victory and is pretty much an excuse for Americans to drink and party. It has nothing to do with education and there are other opportunities for serious study of Mexican culture.

2. If the Mexican students threatened violence, why didn’t the school discipline them, no matter how many students were involved? How can you have any kind of learning in this environment? This is a public school, supported by taxpayer dollars.

3. Congratulations, Mr Principal, you have just rewarded threats, intimidation, and racism. You should have rewarded the free speech of the American flag wearers. You can never appease bullies enough.

4. How many of these students are illegal immigrants or the children of illegals? So far this fits the pattern that’s happening in other Western cultures where large numbers of immigrants – often illegals – avail themselves of all benefits freely given by their host nation but the immigrants feel no loyalty or gratitude and don’t assimilate.

5. There should never be a time when a student in a public school in America cannot wear a T-shirt displaying the American flag.

As John Hinderaker states in the PowerLine article:

My takeaway from all of this is that our civilization is in a state of deep decline, from which it probably cannot recover.

No one can tell me or any of my family that they cannot show American pride. I like the rest of you will wear the stars and stripes anytime I fell like and will show my patriotism and love for this nation.
